attorney's office

Chapter 4

I found myself at the ice cream parlor next to the attorney's office. I savored every bite of dark chocolate ice cream.

I'm not sure if my decision was right, I have so many questions inside my head that I can't answer. I am not sure if I am safe with him, maybe I was just somber earlier that caused his annoyance or I am just too noisy or he just really doesn't want to bother him. It's my fault indeed.

I just thought of buying a cup of triple chocolate ice cream, then I just put a note saying 'I'm sorry '

Caps lock for dama mwehhehehe.

"Ms. Ashanti? We need to go home now"

I was slightly surprised when Isagani suddenly appeared next to me, I nodded and then took another ice cream for him. When we got out I gave it to him.

"Here, Isagani"

I smiled and said to him, he didn't move for a few seconds, he scratched his head then he took it again.

"T-thank you"

"You're welcome!"

I answered with a smile. Then I went to the car, I didn't even get in, I saw Xyn's jaw clenching- I will call him Xyn for now instead of Rhyxyn- in the open window of the car.

"Ahem...about a while-"

"Just forget it Ashanti"

It cut me off when I got into the car. It then closes the window using the button next to it. I took a few more deep breaths. I slowly handed the ice cream I was carrying to him, then didn't say another word.

Minutes after and no words came out of his mouth, no thank you nor reply in my sincere apology for him. I just heave a deep sigh and I just thought of going to the garden of his house. It's still 7 p.m. His family dinner.

"Ms. Ashanti?"

I shook my seat when I noticed Isagani standing on the side of the seat I was sitting on. I smiled at him and so did he. I tapped the metal chair while looking at him.

"I said sit"

I told him when he didn't get what I wanted to convey. He hesitated to sit down so I suspected his hand so that he could sit down.

"What's wrong with Xyn?"

"Who is Xyn?"

I laughed because of this question.

"Mr. Black"

My answer. I heard how he cleared his throat then sat down.

"I'm his butler. I need to protect him from everything that could ruin him, I owe my life to him so I'm doing what I can to accompany him in everything. My goal is to be with him till death do us apart."

My mouth was closed because of what I heard from him. He love Xyn! The lala of both of their lives. Xyn can't show his true personality because of his fear of his mother while Isagani, breathing his feelings towards Xyn because he can't be with us so he did was to protect him. I felt sad in their conditions, Love could be that heartless.

"Isagani!"

I was startled by the strength of Xyn's voice coming from behind us. Isagani then stood up and walked away from me. Isagani suddenly approached Xyn so I was left on the metal bench looking at them from a distance.

"is he jealous?"

I asked myself because I saw Xyn's dark face while looking at me and Isagani. What?! I did not steal Isagani from him! I'm just talking to you. I saw how Isagani smiles and Xyn's face softens, they're secretly in a relationship. Indeed.

Good morning

I looked at myself in the mirror again to look at what I was wearing. I am wearing a Red casual dress that matches my red lipstick. I smiled again because My favorite color matched my skin again.

"let's go"

Xyn said, I smiled at her then followed quickly. He's handsome. His clothes suit him, I wonder how Isagani reacts with this. I still can't believe my deductions, in a short span of time with the three of us I immediately found out their secret. I should work as a spy because I'm good at it.

"you fine?"

Xyn asked me Can we get inside the car. I glanced at the diamond ring on my ring finger, he gave it to me earlier. I saw Isagani's arrangement in the rare mirror, it was facing Xyn. Mhh.. the smell of jealousy is poured in this car.

"Yes, it's just a bit cold. I forgot to bring a jacket."

I smiled at him. I saw that he took off his coat and then put it on me. I was about to stop him but he's stronger than me. I didn't say a word and turned my attention outside the window. The city lights, always calm me. Beautiful view.

The huge mansion that screams luxury opens up to me. A modern type of mansion that doesn't skimp on materials.

"Come here, Ashanti"

Suddenly, Xyn said and pulled my waist closer to her, when I felt nervous, I just got carried away by her.

"S-stop holding me there"

I stammered because it was really tickling, I relaxed again when he let it go. When we finally entered the hall, we were greeted by their assistants lined up. They all bowed as we passed them. Are you this rich The Black family?

"Don't be nervous"

Xyn said to lighten my heart. I really hope his mother is not bruhilda. I quietly followed Xyn's walk, we headed to their Dining area. We didn't even get there when I could hear the noise coming from there.

"You can do it"

I whispered softly to myself then tightly held onto my hand. We were greeted by some maids and then took our belongings. That's where I saw Xyn's family.

"Meet, Ashanti Enovyelle Imber, My wife."

Xyn introduced me because of her family's silence. The silence is deadly, it makes even a feather stand up, it seems like the silence is eating me.

"What?"

It only broke when the woman spoke next to a man, Bali rectangle shaped. The table at the end sat an old man while each side had 5 seats and Xyn was sitting at the end, Bali opposite him The old man, on I'm next to Xyn on the left side.

"So, you should stop dating me with other"

"I don't like her!"

I was startled by the voice of the old woman, while the others just bowed quietly and listened.

"So?"

What is Xyn doing? He's talking to an old man!

"No, I would pick the right woman for you---"

"No, don't imitate me like my brothers."

Xyn said strongly, I don't know why they answer like this. Someone just cleared her throat, and that's the girl with a pretty face.

"Hi, sister Ashanti! I'm brother Rhy's sister, Emily"

Let her know, she has the beauty and I like her personality. I smiled at him then nodded to him, but we were sitting on the same side, while the woman Xyn answered was on the opposite side but at the end.

"I'm Fionna, Rhy's cousin."

The woman opposite me smiled. They're welcoming unlike that woman a while ago.

"I'm Sharon his sister in law"

Introduction Next to Fionna, next to her are two girls

"Alkeme and Allison"

Sharon introduced the two girls. I don't have anyone next to me, there are two spaces on my side because Emily is new.

"Welcome to the family ijca, I'm Rhyxyn's Father Rhyan"

" Good evening"

I politely greeted Rhyxyn's father who was opposite him, The girl next to him sneered, I think that's Rhyxyn's mother. It didn't bother to talk to me, but it was bursting to eat. What's wrong with her?

We were eating in silence when the two men suddenly came. They're both handsome. I also noticed Fionna's sneer while looking at the newly arrived man.

"Ow, whose is this lovely lady beside me?"

Suddenly, the man stood beside me before kissing Rhyxyn's Mother.

"Don't lay a finger on her, Dale."

Rhyxyn said coldly when he was about to touch me, whom he named dale, he laughed then raised his two hands as if giving up.

"Hi, I'm Lewis. Rhyxyn's bother"

I smiled at that, Emily and Dale had it in Ginta.

"Ashanti"

I said Saka smiled. I don't know what's with xyn's mother but I'm starting to get annoyed with her expressions.

"Do you a have family business ijca. I never heard your family name in business industry. Do you only have various stores?"

My jaw dropped because of Rhyxyn's mother's question.

"No, I don't have."

I answered this which made him laugh. That laugh is sarcastic and I want to curl up His face. Instead of showing my anger, I bowed down because of shame.

"Oh common, Rhyxyn you would never choose a woman like her, so cheap."

His mother said angrily. I just want to sink into my seat.

"Did you meet at a bar? Did you use your seduce and flirting power? Nah! You chose wisely ha not bad for a sl*t"

It was still laughing. I don't know if I can cry or what, yes it is true that I used myself to get to Xyn. Because of that bidding he recognized Me. But, she doesn't know the truth!

"Rhyxyn, my dear you should pick someone that could reach our class-"

"Shut up! Don't insult my wife in front of your family if you don't want to be rude in front of my family"

Xyn said loudly and hit the table which caused us all to be shocked.

"Brother Rhyxyn.."

"Rhy.."

"Don't yell at my mother, Rhy"

I was alarmed when he suddenly pointed the knife at Xyn.

"Don't you dare point that knife at me, Dale"

Xyn said loudly, then pointed the gun at Dale, I came closer to Xyn to hope he would let go of the gun but he was stubborn.

you two stop! if you don't want me to eject you out of my house!"

Tito Rhyan shouted causing them to calm down. Suddenly, Xyn grabbed me.

"You're mistress would never be my mom"

Xyn said strongly, then suspected I was leaving.

"Let's go, Isagani."

Xyn said to Maka when we got in the car, we never talk about what happened lately, we left their house and went home to Xyn's hotel. Even though there were many questions that bothered me, I did not ask Xyn anymore.

"Go to our room first"

Xyn's order when Maka went home Then left with Isagani. I was left alone so I entered his room. I really don't know when I will be able to go home to my apartment, but it's up to Xyn Kong to let me go home.

"Where else are they going?"

I asked my self. I laughed when I realized that no one would answer my question. After I cleaned my body, I fell on the bed, then rested myself, suddenly Gina entered in the middle of my thoughts. I took my cellphone and then opened it.

Many messages came, but one of the messages caught my attention. That's a picture of me while at the Ice cream parlor. And the next message at the bottom of the picture is

"The last work that should be done as soon as possible.

From: Mr. D. I."

I read it here. It's quite alarming. Maybe this is one of the things that dad owes and I can't put my self in danger again. I don't want, I don't want to be imprisoned by violence again.
